Debaixo D'agua
Maria Bethânia
Underwater
Underwater everything was more beautiful
More blue, more colorful
It only lacked breathing
But had to breathe
Underwater forming like a fetus
Serene, comfortable, loved, complete
Without ground, without ceiling, without contact with the air
But had to breathe
Every day
Every day, every day
Every day
Every day, every day
Underwater by charm without smile and without tears
Without regret and without knowing how much
This moment could last
But had to breathe
Underwater would stay forever, would be content
Away from everyone, forever at the bottom of the sea
But had to breathe
Every day
Every day, every day
Every day
Every day, every day
Underwater, protected, saved, out of danger
Relieved, without forgiveness and without sin
Without hunger, without cold, without fear, without desire to return
But had to breathe
Underwater everything was more beautiful
More blue, more colorful
It only lacked breathing
But had to breathe
Every day
Now that now is never
Now I can retreat
Now I feel my tomb
Now the chest resounds
Now the last answer
Now hospital rooms
Now they open a door
Now no more tears
Now the rain evaporates
Now it hasn't rained yet
Now I have more memory
Now I have what was mine
Now the landscape passes
Now I didn't say goodbye
Now I buy a ticket
Now I'm still here
Now I feel very thirsty
Now it's already dawn
Now in front of the wall
Now a word is missing
Now the wind in my hair
Now all my clothes
Now back to the ball
Now the tongue in my mouth
Now my grandfather is alive
Now my son was born
Now the child I didn't have
Now the child is me
Now I feel a sweet taste
Now I see the color blue
Now the hand of who brought me
Now it's just my naked body
Now I'm born out there
Now my mother is the air
Now I live in the womb
Now I fight to return
Now
Now
Now
